Title: Babysitting Tom Typhoon
Post by: Tiermann on January 09, 2012, 16:12:51: Have you seen this? I just noticed it over at the Playmobil YouTube channel.

Best ad video they've done I think. If I wasn't already sold on getting this series this ad would have done it. Some features I hadn't realized were there before now.

Thank you for sharing this Tim.

Post by: basilsdad on January 19, 2012, 13:09:02: Love this ad, Tim, hadn't seen it before. I think Playmobil would do themselves a great service by advertising more in other countries. I never see comercials here for Playmobil. Maybe I am just not watching the right shows. :lol:

Post by: Ace on January 19, 2012, 15:35:41: Great find, Tim! It looks like it's dubbed in German, though :eh?:. Hopefully that means that it will also come out in the U.S. with an English version.

Post by: bonniebeth on January 20, 2012, 04:31:24: That would sure be nice. I finally spent a morning watching cartoons while I did housework, just so I would see the playmo ads, and I must say, they were rather pathetic. Really, really lacking. They would do well to have more eye-catching commercials in the US. This one is waaaay to long, though, and would have to be extremely condensed.

Do you mean the 30 second ones are pathetic? I agree, it's hard to tell what they're even advertising. I imagined that this was supposed to be as entertaining as the normal shows. That way, people would keep watching as if it wasn't a commercial. I think that it's pretty entertaining as a regular feature :).

Post by: bonniebeth on January 21, 2012, 04:03:57: Yeah, the little short ones are pathetic. Nothing to really reach out and grab you about how wonderful a toy it is, no catchy tune or slogan to make the name stick in your head, and it moves by so fast you can't even get a good look at what they are advertizing.

Post by: cachalote on January 27, 2012, 15:27:29: yes, geobra is finally getting smarter. :)
instead of pleasing just the kids they finally realized they had to conquer their parents (actually the ones who have the money). ;)
maybe they will also realize that -lots-of-parts-slow-to-build instead of ready-made is the only way to go. :prays:
